    • 2008, Samantha Harvey (NASA/JPL), Solar System Exploration[1], archived from the original on 6 April 2009, page Saturn: Moons: Mimas:
      This is puzzling because Mimas is closer to Saturn than Enceladus, and the Mimantean orbit is much more eccentric (out of round) than the Enceladean orbit.
